Cinnabon Swirl – Pasadena is located right across from Pasadena City college at the corner of Bonnie Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. It is a great destination for both students and neighborhood clients. It has a positive energy that you feel immediately upon entering. I felt like I was going to a party. Everyone in the store says hello and gives you the opportunity to look at the selections available on their menu. The staff member I spoke with explained the options and was eager to offer free samples. I decided for this visit on the classic full size Cinnabon. It was carefully boxed and placed in a bag. I tasted the soft serve ice cream and decided it would be my next purchase on a future visit. I walked around to look at the different displays and refrigerated items available for purchase. The store is bright and cheerful. After a short walk home I enjoyed my Cinnabon for my evening dessert. I think this would be a great breakfast with a good cup of coffee. Great cinnamon flavor as you work your way to the middle cinnamon pastry. Fresh and tasty! Caravel Ice Cream has always been a favorite, so I look forward to my next visit to give it a try. There is parking on the side of the building or in the back. This is a great neighborhood for walking with a lot of boutique restaurants and stores. A great place to window shop and get some exercise. I look forward to enjoying my next visit as much as I did my first!

Cinnabon and Carvel soft serve, what more could you ask for? The place is clean and inviting, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. A very nice spot right across from Pasadena City College. A bit pricey for students.

We LOVE this place! Our family had the opportunity to try it out and it was awesome. Of course, Cinnabon is amazing. Adding ice cream is a great idea! The Cinnamon Roll middles are our favorites.

Went just now on a Sunday the manager that helped us out had such a good personality I would come back just because she made you feel so welcome the ice cream and Cinnabon were amazing as well !
Came here for a Yelp event. The Cinnabon Swirl Sundae was delicious for an afternoon treat. I chose the vanilla soft serve and opt out of any caramel syrup. The soft serve was super soft and paired so well with the warm cinnabon on the bottom. One bite of the cinnabon with the vanilla soft serve was perfect. It did get a bit sweeter as you get to the bottom but still great. I'm not sure if this is the regular sundae size or if it is smaller for the yelp event but the sundae is a bit pricey.
The employee who helped me was also very friendly and introduced the Cinnabon Swirl concept to me. There are also plenty of seats inside and the interior is cutely decorated. There is street parking in the front and a free parking lot in the back.

Wow, I stumbled into the sweetest new spot in Pasadena (pun 100% intended 🍦✨). This place is adorable—like, take-a-selfie-in-the-corner adorable. The staff were total gems and even let me taste-test the ice cream flavor I had my eye on before I made the commitment (because choosing ice cream is basically a lifelong decision). The Cinnabons? Ridiculously good—I may or may not have blacked out in a frosting haze. And when I spotted Carvel, my beloved east coast treat, right here in my hometown, I squealed like a kid at Disneyland. Tons of easy street parking, sparkling clean, and just the right amount of sugar-fueled joy. 10/10 would recommend if you want dessert and serotonin in one stop.

Interesting new concept for Cinnabon. The ice cream was more custardy so it wasn’t too cold and that meant it wouldn’t melt so quickly when mixed with the warm cinnamon roll bites. Suggest splitting one small with a partner as there was plenty!
I love Cinnabon and ice cream and had to check this place out! The workers here were so friendly and offered free samples of the Cinnabon and soft serves. I ordered the bonini (Cinnabon ice cream sandwich) and it was so good! I will definitely be back to try the other soft serve flavors and cookie ice cream sandwiches

As an east coast native that loved to LA and missed carvel I was super excited for this! Drove from West LA and was met with bad customer service and employees that acted as if my presence was an inconvenience. Not to mention as my hand is out to receive my cone the staff puts in some weird holder and pushes towards the cashier so as it’s melting I can’t get it until I pay? Weird. Card system makes you put a tip or manually have to type in zero. Kind of insane. New business so I guess those are the kinks to workout.

This was my first time trying Carvel ice cream. There used to be a location on Lake Avenue, but I never got the chance to go. Also, they closed back in 2011 and this is the first Cinnabon Swirl location on the West Coast.
Personally, it tasted like a McFlurry to me, except you have the option of adding more toppings. I got hot fudge and rainbow sprinkles.
Their ice cream is very smooth in texture.
The shop offers birthday candles and frozen cakes you can pick up for any celebrations!

Fantastic dessert spot combining the delicious cinnamon rolls of Cinnabon and the ice cream of Carvels. Bonini is a Cinnabon style panini with ice cream, and the signature combination. Very satisfying and a perfect sweet treat to enjoy for dessert. The staff are very friendly and offer generous free samples.
